Krabi Travel Guide - Beaches, Islands & Hotels

Krabi is a province on Thailand's Andaman coast known for its dramatic limestone karsts rising straight out of turquoise water. Most travellers base themselves at Ao Nang or the boat-only Railay Peninsula, with Krabi Town itself acting more as a transit hub than a destination.

The region delivers some of the country's best rock climbing, kayaking through mangroves, and island-hopping by longtail boat to the Phi Phi, Hong, and Four Islands. Quieter alternatives like Koh Lanta, Koh Jum, and Koh Phi Phi Don are an easy ferry away, making Krabi a flexible base for both adventure and beach time.
